Congressman Thompson, Mr. President?
Yes.
Right.
There you are.
Hello.
Mr. President.
I just called with only two days, three days left to wish you the very best, to wish my best to our other candidates there on our ticket, but particularly to say that in that United States Senate, we very much need you in these next four years.
because you stand for peace with honor.
You stand for a strong America rather than a weak America.
You stand against those who would have us isolate ourselves from the world, who would have us surrender around the world.
You also stand for that strong kind of leadership, which we all want to be sure that we have justice with law and order throughout this country.
Well, Mr. President, we have a number of other people here in Georgia who stand for those very same things.
And I'm mighty proud of the fact that they're working for us.
They're helping us.
We've got some of the most dedicated volunteers.
I sincerely believe that this is going to be an historic election in Georgia.
And it's a happy day for me.
And I'm very proud, of course, to have your backing.
And I know the people of Georgia are going to give you a resounding
vote next Tuesday.
I hope that they also will give a resounding vote to myself.
Yes, sir.
We're going to have to wait and see.
Let me say, you just keep right on working because I think you can win.
It's a tight race and say that after that marvelous welcome that we will never forget in Atlanta, I think that the Thompson-Nixon team will come through on November the 7th.
Well, thank you very much, Mr. President.
We certainly appreciate your calling.
We'll be working for you down here, and as I said, we've got an awful lot of people helping me as well.
Okay.
Goodbye.
Bye.
